[Xoom General] colbyb25:
Agreeded. My wife and I each have a Xoom and we love it. Sure it has some short comings, but so does every device. In the end, the biggest selling point for me for the Xoom was the unlocked bootloader and the Google experience device. The software on this thing is going to be hacked and chopped up to no end. That is what most people are missing. Who cares that it wasn't 100% ready at launch...seriously. I am much happier having one to play with now rather then waiting another month or 2 or 3. Any of you saying otherwise is lying to yourself because of self inflicted buyers remorse.
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
I agree there's nothing greater then having a device that has flaws starting out and having the oportunity to watch them get fixed and watch the device grow I can't wait to see what the xoom will soon be able to do
[Xoom General] serialtoon:
I absolutely agree with you. Which is the reason my Xoom is also heading back to Best Buy. Its just not ready for prime time. Now i consider myself an early adopter and i have no problems doing so but this device is just way, way too young. Ill wait for it to mature again and purchase it later. In the mean time ill let my $800+ dollars sit in a high interest account ;-)

I am running the superclean 2.7 voodoo, and adry said he disabled the monitoring module but i still get the vzw message when i log in from my netbook to sign up for it.Anyone else having this issue or know of a fix? :confused:
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
Did you actually do the hack to let you use the 3G wireless hotspot app for free? The monitoring module isn't responsible for that part of it, it was (believed to be) just for snooping.

Are you using verizons wifi hot spot? Go get Wifi Tether from the market...it works well and isnt verizon's

I have wireless teather already and it does work. I'm trying to use the 3g mobile hotspot app. Friend has the vibrant and uses his free. It seems much faster than wireless teather.
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
Have you followed the steps here to let you use them for free? If not, then you can't use them without paying. You gotta give more information about what, if anything, you've tried.

Sorry about the lack of info. At work rite now. Thanks for the link, its just what I wad looking for.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasukewa:
Just want to find out if we can live with the custom ROM by sticking to manufacturer's ROM.

The requirements and opinions are my own and any suggestion to improve would be greatly appreciated. I am sure there are those of you who decided to go back to the original ROM (rooted).

1. Baseband 55 (latest)

2. Which Cyanogen theme?

3. Wifi Tether for Root users (available on market place)

allows my IPAD to work while I am away from home.

4. APP2SD or Link2SD - can someone please tell me the difference?

5. Music player recommendation?

6. Animated Weather and clock (available on market place)

7. Sip client - sipdroid (available on market place)

8. Browser (standard or firefox)

9. Google sky map (market place)

10. Bluetooth for car kit (I cannot get the standard bluetooth to work with my parrot car bluetooth. It will connect but the sound isnt patched through)

11. 3G Watchdog (market place)

12. Time Mobile app

13. Dictionary.com app

14. Amazon kindle app

15. Swype / SlideIT keyboard

Of course you can recommend other good apps.

Thanks

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcfixitguy:
I've had my Archos 101 for about two weeks, and now the screen won't turn on. The green LED turns on and I can hold down the power button for 10 - 15 seconds and the device will turn off. I've tried booting into recovery mode (power and + volume) but still nothing on the screen. Anyone seen this before or have any ideas on how to fix it?

Update: After a day I could start to see the screen a bit, however, it's not usable/readable. I was able to boot into recovery mode and do a reset, but that didn't help the screen issue. I'm returning the device to Archos for repair. On a brighter note, I bought a Xoom and I'm loving it. The Archos 101 will probably get passed along to the kids or wife, I can't go back to it after experiencing Honeycomb on the Xoom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BIGWORM:
For the life of me, the MAGLDR menu refuses to show (Boot AD NANDE, USB Flasher, etc). The program itself will start up, but not the menu. I've put HSPL2.08 and the 2.15.50.14 radio on the phone. I actually had an Android ROM booted before, but wanted to try a WP7 rom, which acted like it wanted to boot up, but never did. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I've been rebooted this phone for the past 4 hours trying to get it to show the menu, but nothing. Any idea what the problem could be?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
just to double check the process, , you need to be holding the power (end) button from during the first splash screen, and dont let go till the menu appears.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BIGWORM:
Still not giving me anything. I'm not sure what to do from here.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
double check your spl, (bootloader, must say 2.08,hspl next to 'spl', , dont assume it, check it.)

since this came from a failed wp7 flash, id be very tempted to either flash a stock rom, or do a task 29, to get it back to blank, then magldr, CWM, rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BIGWORM:
Couple of questions:

1. What is task 29? (sounds like formatting)

2. How do I flash CWM from a fresh Magldr install? I got an Android ROM ready to install through DFT, but would prefer to flash through CWM from now on. Thanks for your help, btw.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] akapaul26:
Ok this is what you need to do...

1. Download task29 to your computer. Unzip to a folder on your computer.

look here for the task29 zip (I use this one) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5848003&postcount=19 Enter bootloader screen and run DAF as admin this will run through setup. After setup phone will reboot, this is where you start step #2.

2. Make sure you have a copy of MAGLDR which can be found here...Do the same, extract to a file on your computer.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10197474&postcount=1 Enter bootloader, run ROM update utility as admin. The phone will install magldr1.13. Now on to step three...

3. You will reboot phone into MAGLDR by holding red power button down till you enter into MAGLDR go down to option 5...USB Flasher this is what you want to choose to setup your partition. Some ROM builds have specific partitions that work with their ROMS like the one I use which can be found here.... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=915159

If you are going to use DFT builds go ahead but CWM is so much easier trust me, but just in case here is a link for some standard partitions for CWM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=898913

4. After you have done all this and have a partition setup it is time again to reboot into bootloader...choose option 5 for DFT builds and flash your ROM. Choose option 8 for CWM and install your build zip file.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BIGWORM:
Why would MAGLDR's menu refuse to pop up even if I hold down the power button? I have to constantly reboot it for half an hour before it decides to pop up, and even then, flashing fails virtually the whole time. This is getting frustrating. I'm an experienced flasher, having played with a Droid 1 and EVO for the past year, yet this phone is giving me problems like I don't know what I'm doing.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] akapaul26:
Did you try the steps outlined in my last post? You need to run a task 29 and start from scratch. Your MAGLDR download likely has a corrupt file.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BIGWORM:
Task 29 link you provided is freezing at 38%. I've pretty much given up on this phone.

*edit* Started over, and it worked, but didn't reboot the phone properly. One problem after another.

*edit 2* Pulled the battery, went into bootloader, flashed the MAGLDR, finished, but also didn't reboot phone properly. What could be the problem with that?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] akapaul26:
What do you mean by it did not reboot the phone properly?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BIGWORM:
Phone didn't reboot to splash, just a black screen. I've given up on this phone. I've tried for the past two days to get it going, and I've deleted all files associated to the phone. I'm glad this isn't my phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
I usually get this with MAGLDR. Sometimes it just shows the info at the top, others, it goes to a white screen. I usually just soft reset it from the little button inside the battery cover. Or else, boot to HSPL, then Task 29.

I use a program called 'AdvancedLeoRUU'. I think this is it. Not too sure though. Try it out. :) You run the RomUpdateUtility to run the Task 29 btw.
[Atrix 4G General] Acei:
Hi guys,

Not sure if any of you are aware but I am the one who developed Smartbench 2010 which is a benchmarking app for Android phones. I've been working on it for the past couple of months and so far, I've been happy with the reception. :D

But just as it is the case with 99.9% of all apps, it is not capable of utilizing multi-cores.

I am currently developing the version 2011 which IS capable of using multi-cores (as long as Android used is SMP enabled).

This is a BETA version. When it is final, as it was the case with Smartbench 2010, it will be available for free in the Android Market. I am curious to see how well the CPU tests in Smartbench 2011 works with multi-core phones. I am using 4 threads that work in parallel so it should be able to handle up to quad-core processors.

For those who are interested, please download the following and try running it. The results will be automatically submitted to the server and you will see your results in the result chart as well, which is fetched from the server in real-time.

https://market.android.com/details?i...rtbench.eleven

Thanks much! :D

EDIT: Smartbench 2011 v0.7 has been released. It will now allow you to sort results by either Average, Productivity or Games scores. Please re-install this version.

EDIT2: Smartbench 2011 v0.8 has been released. It now offers a filtering option - you can see all results or just stock clock speed results. Mandelbrot test also has been extended for better precision. Again, please re-install this version.

EDIT3: I have just published Smartbench v1.0 in the Android Market - please install this version moving forward. Results submitted by the BETA version will no longer be stored in the server DB. Your support during the BETA period has been very helpful! :)
[Atrix 4G General] Clienterror:
Looks good, my scores went up quite a bit after I closed all the open apps.
[Atrix 4G General] Acei:
I think the "multi-core support" code is working pretty good. I can also see that for some scores, they could be more consistent. I think I know why - it is the way I capture the run-time. Instead of getting the average of all runs within the test, I am taking the slowest which might be a bad idea since one thread might have had a bad luck with the scheduling. But other than this, it looks pretty good. :)

If anyone has any other feedback, please let me know!
[Atrix 4G General] waltah!:
Very cool. Nicely done app and there's a big difference from 2010 and 2011 scores.
[Atrix 4G General] Acei:
Yes, and you shouldn't compare 2010 and 2011 scores together. The reason I treat them as a separate app altogether is because the apps are tuned differently and the baselines are also different. In 2010, N1 was the baseline, obtaining 1000 across the board. For 2011, G2 was used as the baseline, so N1 will no longer get 1000/1000 scores.

The idea here is to keep up with the technology as it evolves so that the benchmark app doesn't become useless over time. Dual-core was the main focus in 2011 version.
[Atrix 4G General] Acei:
It appears that on Atrix, the "String" test is returning very inconsistent results - probably due to triggering garbage collection as I am using very large strings and creating a lot of them. I am currently working on a fix for this.

EDIT: A new version has been placed in the above location. Please use this version moving forward. Hopefully, this one will report more consistent results for the "String Test". Other tests look pretty good now. :)

[Atrix 4G General] NoNameAtAll:
Holy...my score shot up like no tomorrow.

Well, not the gaming score. It's slightly below the stock one at 2368.

But the productivity score...3040. :O
[Atrix 4G General] dinan:
Heh I hope you don't mind... I ran this on my Nexus S. Only got 800 something productivity and about 2900 gaming, which is to be expected if the baseline is a G2 which is known to do better floating point than the hummingbird but much worse at GPU tasks.

The iPad2 was just announced and it'll most likely have a dual core PowerVR SGX543 which probably means the iPhone 5 will have this same processor/GPU setup. How do you think Tegra 2 will compare to it?
[Atrix 4G General] seanfinn:
Awesome..getting some great results
[Atrix 4G General] lsxrx7:
i love how they have score of different phone with custom roms
[Atrix 4G General] Acei:
From what I can see, it's a bit harder to get stable results in multi-core environment. I think it was a good call to go with average scores. :)
[Atrix 4G General] Acei:
Actually its helpful to see other results. :D I just didn't want to have 3000 people bombarding the server at the same time, especially when I am expecting bugs to show up. And yes, I agree with your analysis as well. From what I can tell, Hummingbird based phones are producing results in line with my expectations.

Do we know if iPad2 is going to use a single-core SGX543 or multi-core setup? This is feasible with SGX543. Also, I believe SGX543 is supposed to perform better than SGX540 even in a single-core configuration. So I do expect it to outperform Hummingbird in its current generation form, and probably Tegra 2 as well, especially if they go with multi-core GPU config.
[Atrix 4G General] Acei:
Yeah. My intention was to display all custom ROM configurations. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a single standardized way to read those ROM names... So I am still stuck with this.... Most of the results are still reading "Stock ROM" because it couldn't determine which ROM was used.
[Atrix 4G General] Acei:

[Atrix 4G General] crea78:
I got 2038 Productivity and 1759 Games. About 600-700 pts less than the Optimus 2x which might have something to do with pushing more pixels.
[Atrix 4G General] Acei:
There's also a lot going on in your phone. Depending on what was running when all that threads were working, you may end up with some variances. The best indication is to look at the scores displayed by the app, especially those bars that are represented by many test runs.

Why arent we allowed to debate the license kernal and ROM issues or ask questions as to why XDA wont let MDJ post?

threads are closed regularly but explanations never come down the pike

people miss out on Roms and developers get banned everybody loses and nobody knows why

IF THE MODS ARENT GOING TO GIVE THE USERS ADEQUATE EXPLANATIONS

then they shouldn't be closing threads just bc they dont like the content or it might be critical of the forum its policies or other open sources issues we should be dealing with moving forward rather than just closing threads.

we cant identify issues make suggestions and solve issues if threads are closed and explanations not given or forthcoming.

I cant be the only one confused by all of this...

[Epic 4G General] vooman:
I searched the forums to see if anyone else noticed these issues. First I upgraded via the exe file from samsung and I even did a wipe of my sd card after backing it up...

I am on stock eb13 and not rooted..

My issue is this, sometimes when trying to send text messages they get stuck with sending and don't actually send... I am kinda assuming this is happening after receiving a picture or sending a picture, but I am not sure on this because I can't make it produce this problem on a constant basis.. the only thing that seems to fix this is rebooting the phone.. then the text messages that all had sending on them will send all at once..

Second issue is today I wanted to send a funny animated picture text I received to mutiple people and while typing the peoples names in I would get multiple force closes.. the only way it seemed to work was using the contacts then choosing the names that way... I didnt fully test this to see if that was the work around and was curious if anyone else were getting forces closes...

Overall my experience with the stock sms app has been very annoying. D118 worked far better for me in the sms category..

Thanks in advance for any help in this matter....
[Epic 4G General] Superbovine:
Regarding the stuck on Sending... this is a problem with 2.2 and there is no fix yet. It has been present since DK28 but is completely random on when it occurs; sometimes you go a month+ before it happens, other times hours.

When it happens, go to settings/applications/manage/running and FC the messaging app. When you reopen it, it should send. Only other option is reboot and it will send.
[Epic 4G General] Kent_Davis:
My Evo is known for getting stuck receiving the SMS messages. Never have been able to figure it out. very frustrating indeed so i feel your pain
[Epic 4G General] vooman:
Thanks for the replies.. much appreciated..
[Epic 4G General] mgfootballer:
To tell you the truth I don't think I've ever ran into this problem myself...the only way I'm stuck on sending is if in a bad service area which is common, did you try to a hard reset possibly? I'm not much help on android development, but starting from scratch may help?
[Epic 4G General] big_bake:
I have seen issues like this with sprint in general, not just on my Epic. Sometimes texts just won't send. Other times you get like 4 or 5 texts that get delivered late.

I know that your issue is probably software related though. I really don't like the 2.2 messaging app. The one on 2.1 worked great
[Epic 4G General] xxmastermindxx:
I've also had this issue, back to when I had the Moment. Same fix for me, reboots and whatever I thought was already sent, finally sends. At least I have an excuse for when my gf wonders why I haven't responded to her texts lol :p
[Epic 4G General] Atlienzz:
I've only had this problem since getting EB13. I've found that if you go into RAM manager via task manager and do a level 2 memory clear, it shuts down a critical SMS process and the phone will refuse to send any SMS until the the phone is rebooted.

By chance have you been clearing memory in RAM manager on the new EB13?
[Epic 4G General] xxmastermindxx:
I know that I do, I actually do this rather frequently when I want to make sure my music player or game or anything else isn't still running in background. Not going to do a memory clear the entire day and see if this error still comes up.
[Epic 4G General] Atlienzz:
Let us know your results, I'm fairly certain this is the cause of my SMS issues. I haven't done a level 2 ram clear in a couple of days and have had zero SMS issues since.
[Epic 4G General] xxmastermindxx:
No level 2 clears since I posted here last, zero SMS issues.
[Epic 4G General] StillWill:
I've been having the same issue too, and I can also confirm that I no longer have this problem by not using level 2 clears.
